INTERACTIVE / VIDEO / PRINT (Graduate Project)
Finalist for ATOM Awards 2012

An interactive documentary exploring the 2010 eruption of Mount Merapi, Central Java, Indonesia. Shot on location over 15 days in July 2011, it looks at the eruption through a multi-perspective framework of 21 local and diverse individuals. The project's purpose is to illustrate a realistic representation of the eruption for audiences who may not be familiar with such an event.

All aspects of production were exclusively and independently carried out for the purposes of this project – with the only exception being the outsourcing of flash development. The on-site shooting, video editing, interaction design and print promotion were all completed over four months while in Sydney.
Merapi: Stories from the Volcano is currently being used as an educational resource to explore topical Indonesian culture & geography modules in classrooms and universities across Australia.
